So … consider… What if the Guilty were innocent and the innocent in danger? Is it all in the lines of our hand?Sam Cray, a streetwise and earthy detective looks upon the eighth victim of a serial killer they are starting to call the Illinois Butcher. Ruthless and vicious, the killings are particularly twisted. Yet has he made his first mistake? The killer leaves a trademark on every victim, a daisy tied with a yellow ribbon. Only this time he has sullied a previously unblemished record by leaving a fingerprint when he stopped to fasten a button on the girls clothing. A simple reflex, but perhaps giving the police a direct route to him.Later that evening, a man sits in a nearby café and watches the police activity. Running the length of his hand is a deep scar.Not another serial killer story, I hear you groan … not quite!
Recieved Open Hand yesterday and began reading (as I do for an hour each night) and I was so intrigued with this authors story that I finished the book in the one sitting! It grasps you from the first few pages and keeps you entertained throughout! Love the twist n would buy more from this great story teller!!
This is definitely not yet another Serial Killer book. it is so much more complex - nobody is who you think they are and situations aren't what they seem!
Our Reading Group, aged from 40 to 80, loved it and they are a difficult group to please. This book needs to be made into a film. Patsy & Tom Allen
